Manage The Game, The John Brantley Way

Don't expect John Brantley to go around pumping his fists in the air or yelling in teammate's ears.

In fact, don't expect him to take off running on 3rd and seven.

Brantley has so much talent around him, he doesn't need to be a runner. With Demps, Rainey, and a core of young, talented wide receivers, we should expect him to allow his playmakers to fire up the swamp early and often.

Having seen action in the past two seasons, don't expect Brantley to be rattled.

Especially in this game. He has a calmness to the emotional side of the game. This will help Brantley not only on this opening day, but also when he travels to the likes of Alabama and Tennessee in front of 100,000 fans.

Expect Brantley to rely on his skills, rather than emotion or the will to make plays as Tebow did. Of course, Tebow was skilled as well, but we are talking about two different athletes.
